WOBURN — The Massachusetts Pharmacists Association (MPhA) Foundation awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Stephanie Lewis of Swansea, a Pharm D. student at MCPHS University Boston during MPhA’s Spring Conference, held April 17 at the Four Points by Sheraton in Norwood.

As a 5th year pharmacy student, Stephanie is one of four Massachusetts pharmacy student recipients of the MPhA Foundation Scholarship. She is enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy Honors program, a highly selective program at MCPHS. She also serves as the Chapter Secretary of MCPHS-Boston’s Rho Chi Society, the national pharmacy honor society.

Lewis has participated in the American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) as Chapter President for the past two years. Her chapter won a national award for innovative programming through APhA-ASP’s Heartburn Awareness Campaign.

Along with other students at MCPHS, Lewis planned and participated in a medical mission trip to Peru in May 2013. She also volunteered in a community pharmacy in Visp, Switzerland in August 2013, after being selected by the International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation’s Student Exchange Program. In April 2013, she served in one of the medical tents at the Boston Marathon as a member of the Boston Medical Reserve Corps.

She also is currently working on a research project at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, studying the benefit of continued anticoagulant therapy in the prevention of venous thromboembolic event recurrence in patients with cancer.

Lewis plans to pursue a career as a pharmacist in an ambulatory care setting.
